HOW TO COSPLAY
vol.2:

In Store 2009
Early Summer !!

“I can never decide on my make-up.” “I’m interested in face paint, color contact lenses and special make-up, but I don’t know how to use them...” “I want to be able to do make-up the way it is in photos.”

These and many other earnest questions from cosplayers are the reason this book was produced. Once you’ve settled on your actual costume, it’s time to turn your focus to applying the perfect make-up, and gain an edge over your rivals!!

There are a number of books out there on making the costumes for cosplaying, but until now, there have been none that specialize in cosplay make-up. Taking full advantage of the know-how Graphic-sha has amassed through its publication of various how-to books, we have produced a detailed and thorough book on how to do cosplay make-up, a subject cosplayers are most interested in now. We obtained the necessary authorization to use the popular (and copyrighted) anime, manga and game characters featured in the book, and can present the actual make-up techniques needed to reproduce them accurately!

Using familiar materials and items, professional make-up artists present complete lectures on such topics as Basics/Cross-dressing/Using face paint/Special wound and make-up/Covering facial faults! We also present reports on major cosplay events!!
